1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThe MOUSEION-010 Meta-Analysis assessed the association between nutritional status and clinical outcomes such as Progression Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) among cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).

methodsNutritional status was assessed based on the Prognostic Nutrition Index (PNI), Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) indexes. Databases consulted were: Embase, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science.

resultsPNI and GNRI indexes did not show a significant association with both PFS and OS, while CONUT index displayed a significant difference in PFS between the two groups, in favor of the control group (Z = 4.04;

conclusionMalnutrition could negatively impact cancer patients, especially in advanced phases. Our findings could be associated with the reduction of physical ability and daily activity performance, lower compliance with treatment protocols, and shorter survival outcomes.
